(2) Press
CTRL + F
to transfer this value
automatically to the 69XXXB (LO). A very
low frequency beat (<10 Hz) should be ob-
tained, indicating that the correct carrier
frequency (on the 690XXB/ 691XXB DUT)
is programmed.
4. Calibrate and lock the PN9000 as follows:
a. Offset the frequency of either the 69XXXB
(LO) or 690XXB/691XXB (DUT) as follows:
(1) Press
Local
to return the 690XXB/
691XXB to local control.
(2) Offset the frequency by 1 kHz.
b. On the PN9000, select the Calib./Exec Cal
menu, then select OK.
c. After calibration, repeat step a to remove the
1 kHz offset.
d. On the PN9000, select the Lock/Def. Loop
menu:
(1) Set Loop BW = 100 Hz.
e. Select the Lock/AutoLock menu:
(1) Set Vmin = 0V
(2) Set Vmax = 10V
(3) Select OK to perform the automatic lock-
ing process.
The system will check that conditions for lock-
ing are OK, measure the tune slope of the ref-
erence source,and look for the locking voltage.
5. On the PN9000, perform the single sideband
phase noise measurement as follows:
a. Select the Measure menu, then select OK to
perform the measurement.
6. Record the displayed phase noise levels at 10 Hz,
100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, 100 kHz, and 1 MHz off-
set from the carrier frequency on the Test Record.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all frequencies listed
on the Test Record.
